Movie review: The Help

1) It's two hours of white people being mean to black people. That's the total extent of the plot.

2) There's a revenge scenario that is so gross I'm sure even the Farrelly Brothers would reject it.

3) The message the producers think they're sending out is: It's a tragedy that the only job black women could get in the '50 was being a maid. The message they're inadvertently sending out is: It's a tragedy that the only job a black actress can get today is playing a maid.

Anyone can cast a black woman as a maid, Hollywood's been doing it for 100 years! I'll tell you who should get the Oscar, the producers of "Columbiana."
